Well, for me, exremely easily was:
- installing OpenLDAP using the FreeBSD prots system.
- importing /etc/passwd using PADL's <http://www.padl.com/> excellent 
Migration Tools.
- pointing Moz at the directory server.

The migration tools generates objects which implement: mailRecipient, 
person, organizationalPerson, inetOrgPerson, account, posixAccount, and 
of course, top. This is probably overkill if you just want to share 
addressbook information (I'm using it primarily for UNIX directory 
services, mail routing, etc), if this is the case, then I'd suggest 
using: person, inetOrgPerson, and maybe organizationalPerson.

Moz seems to support many (most?) of the attributes defined for those 
object classes, and vice versa. See the source 
<http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mailnews/addrbook/src/nsAbLDAPProperties.cpp> 
for full details.

HTH,
Mike.
